"Next, there's only the increase in Energy Value Limit and Life Value Limit left to be checked."
Regarding the Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang is quite optimistic. He believes that with the 30% Energy Value Limit increase, it will surely help boost his Energy Value Limit significantly.
"But speaking of the Life Value Limit, my initial card, the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit of Light Golden Quality, seems not yet checked."
Although the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit and the Divination Tarot Card Twelve-piece Set are both of Light Golden Quality, it's unfortunate that since the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit currently consists of only one card and hasn't formed a new three-piece set, it cannot be merged into the Tarot Card Set.
Also, due to having only one card, the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit cannot provide the Set Effect. The only thing it can offer Zhang Yanhang is the 10% Life Value Limit increase it inherently possesses.
Even with just the Additional Attributes it has inherently, it's enough to rival eleven Light Golden Quality Life Rings, remaining very useful.
Zhang Yanhang began to examine the artwork of the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit. He remembers the original composition he found in the Main World, depicting a white-bearded old man wearing a Grey robe and hood, holding a staff in his left hand and a lantern in his right, standing alone atop a snowy mountain, looking quite solitary, or rather, a classic solitary elder.
While the drawing from the underground workshop appeared unexpectedly normal, showing a robust grey-haired middle-aged man practicing boxing atop a mountain. Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang couldn't see his face, only his back.
Though he was a middle-aged man, the surrounding mountains exploding in sequence suggested he possessed immense power, once a hero in his youth, but now perhaps reduced to a solitary elder or lonely elder, swinging his fists at mountains for entertainment due to lack of children's company.
If the previous white-bearded old man looked like an elderly Wizard, this grey-haired middle-aged man boxing looked like an elderly Taoist, although the Profession saw major Transformation, age and gender didn't reverse, surprisingly normal.
Originally, Zhang Yanhang was prepared for an apparition of an elderly woman, like a certain purple-haired elderly lady who maintained a youthful appearance even at thousands of years old. Of course, for the Kana clan stragglers, perhaps a forever-seventeen-year-old elderly woman was equally anticipated; unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang didn't like Kana clan.
Perhaps due to the artwork being overly normal this time around, Zhang Yanhang felt neither unexpected familiarity with this card nor the previous Divination Tarot Card - Hanged Man; suggesting only certain Divination Tarot Cards evoke a subtle familiar feeling in him.
After examining the Divination Tarot Card - Hermit, Zhang Yanhang promptly placed it back into his Waist Bag along with the other Tarot Card Sets, ensuring to enjoy the boost effect.
Upon confirming successful Equipment, Zhang Yanhang opened his Life Value Limit to examine the increase after obtaining the Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient growth and Life Value Limit increase, desiring to ascertain the growth in his Life Value Limit.
Due to the larger base of Life Value Limit compared to Energy Value Limit, even a 10% increase in Life Value Limit this time is worth anticipating.
[Life Value: 37576/37576 (Constitution x82 (+3), currently officially data-fied, Life Value Recovery Rate, 71 points per hour.)]
"Due to upgrading the Tarot Card Set from Dark Purple Quality nine-piece set to Light Golden Quality twelve-piece set, my Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient increased by three points, growing from 79 points to 82 points, accompanied by my hundred points Constitution Attribute, providing an additional 300 points Life Value Limit."
Moreover, Zhang Yanhang's Life Value Limit, aided by Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient and Life Value Limit increase, rose from 35423 points to 37576 points, an increment of 2153 points in Life Value Limit.
The increase of these 2153 points can be divided into three parts. The first part naturally is the 300 points Life Value Limit provided by the Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient.
The second part is the 509 points Life Value Limit provided by the previous Life Value Limit increment on those 300 points.
The remaining 1344 points Life Value Limit is the 10% Life Value Limit increase combined with Zhang Yanhang's original Life Value Limit and the recently acquired 300 points Life Value Limit. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
Overall, due to the diversified growth channels, Zhang Yanhang's Life Value Limit calculation becomes increasingly complex, but correspondingly, the growth magnitude is significantly boosted by diversified channels; otherwise, he couldn't possibly advance from merely over a hundred Life Value Limit to currently over thirty thousand Life Value Limit.
"Previously, I set my small goal just to achieve thirty-six thousand Life Value Limit, and I was concerned about failing to accomplish it, but now clearly, I underestimated myself. Not only did I meet the thirty-six thousand Life Value Limit goal, but even the thirty-seven thousand Life Value Limit small goals is achieved."
Zhang Yanhang decided to continue with the routine of setting his next small goal at thirty-eight thousand Life Value Limit, currently only falling short by 424 points, not much indeed, certainly achievable before the Rank promotion. Zhang Yanhang is very optimistic about this.
"A regular Fourth Tier Awakened possesses 4500 Life Value Limit. Previously, my Life Value Limit was merely equivalent to 7.9 times the Fourth Tier Awakened's Life Value Limit, but now with consecutive growth, my Life Value Limit reaches 8.4 times that of the Fourth Tier Awakened, an increase of 0.5 times."
Previously, Zhang Yanhang always believed accomplishing the small goal of reaching eight times the Life Value Limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened was promising, and now it's indeed accomplished. His next small goal is set to nine times the Life Value Limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened.
Though achieving eight times Life Value Limit is easy, whether nine times Life Value Limit can be accomplished is truly uncertain, as although he's only 0.6 times short, it remains a gap of nearly three thousand Life Value Limit, still challenging to achieve.
Of course, the difficulty lies in failing to acquire the Hermit Three-piece Set. However, if he successfully gathers the Hermit Three-piece Set from the upcoming Ashen Treasure Box, completing this small goal would then be quite effortless.
"Due to not equipping more Life Rings lately, my Life Value Recovery Rate remains at 1392 points per hour. Previously, it took approximately twenty-five and a half hours to recover a full Health bar."
But now, with the Life Value Limit exceeding two thousand points increase, the time needed to recover a full Life Value Limit is reduced to twenty-seven hours, a decrease of one and a half hours."
In response, Zhang Yanhang could only say, it seems that the short-term goal of twenty-four hours previously achieved is indeed gone for good, never to return.
After checking the Life Value limit, Zhang Yanhang immediately clicked on the Shield Value limit and started to check, wanting to know how much the Shield Value limit could increase.
[Shield Value: 176609/176609 (Life Value Limit × 470%, Recovery Speed: 20% per second.)]
"Originally, my Shield Value limit was only 166,490 points, and now it has directly increased to 176,609 points, equivalent to an increase of 10,119 points in the Shield Value limit. As expected, the Shield Value never lets me down, casually growing by ten thousand points.
My previous small goal was merely to reach a Shield Value limit of 170,000 points, and now, while easily achieving the limit of 170,000 points, the small goal of 175,000 points has also been completed together."
Zhang Yanhang's next small goal is to continue setting the Shield Value limit at 180,000 points. Currently, he is only 3,391 points away from the limit of 180,000 points, which shouldn't be very difficult to achieve.
"Originally, when my Shield Value limit was only 166,490 points, it was roughly equivalent to 37 times the Life Value limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened. When my Shield Value limit increased to 176,609 points, it was already equivalent to 39.3 times the Life Value limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened, which is equivalent to an additional increase of 2.3 times the Shield Value limit."
As for Zhang Yanhang, his ultimate goal in the Fourth Tier is to raise the Shield Value limit to 40 times the Life Value limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened. Currently, he is just 0.7 times away from achieving this ultimate goal.
"Previously, I thought reaching the small goal of 40 times the Life Value limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened might be impossible, but now it doesn't seem as difficult as imagined."
Zhang Yanhang estimates that when he achieves the small goal of 180,000 points Shield Value limit, the small goal of 40 times the Life Value limit of a Fourth Tier Awakened will certainly be completed together by the way.
Because the Life Value limit growth is relatively large, Zhang Yanhang naturally began to look forward to the growth of the Energy Value limit as well. He immediately opened his Energy Value limit to start checking.
[Energy Value: 17351/17351 (Intelligence × 61 (+3), current body has been officially datafied, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 222 points per hour.)]
"How to put it, because of the larger Energy Value limit base, the difference with the Life Value limit base is too large, leading to the Energy Value limit's increase rate far exceeding the Life Value limit. However, when it comes to actual value growth, it is much less than expected."
Since Zhang Yanhang's promotion in rank, his Energy Value limit has hardly increased. Furthermore, it continued to decrease due to dual-choice reasons, ultimately leaving only a limit of 14,131 points.
Now, relying on the 30% Energy Value limit increase, the Energy Value limit has reached 17,351 points, which is equivalent to a one-time increase of 3,220 points in the Energy Value limit.
If looking at this number alone, it might feel fine. However, the embarrassing part is that although the Energy Value limit has a 20% higher increase rate than the Life Value limit, it ultimately only resulted in an additional growth of less than 1,100 points in the Energy Value limit.
But as Zhang Yanhang said at the beginning, this is all due to the base difference. If the bases were consistent, such an awkward situation wouldn't have occurred.
"Originally, my maximum Energy Value limit conversion coefficient was 58 points, but now, due to the upgrade of the Divination Tarot Card Set to light gold, the maximum Energy Value limit conversion coefficient has increased by 3 points, bringing my limit conversion coefficient to 61 points. Combined with my 100 points in Intelligence Attribute, it also provides me with 300 points in the Energy Value limit."
Zhang Yanhang can only say that the current growth in the Energy Value limit is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
"But no matter how you look at it, this time I finally gained other Energy Value limit increases."
The only Energy Value limit increase Zhang Yanhang previously had was from the SS-level Scroll Dragon Bloodline's 60% Energy Value limit. Now, finally, thanks to the light-gold quality Divination Tarot Card Twelve-piece set, the Energy Value limit has increased by another 30%, bringing the total increase to 90%.
But unfortunately, even with an additional 30% Energy Value limit increase, the multiplier for the Life Value limit increase is still twice as much, reaching as much as a 179.5% Life Value limit increase.
As for the origin of that extra 0.5%, it naturally comes from the 31 odd-numbered Life Rings Zhang Yanhang is wearing.
"However, although I did acquire this new path with the Divination Tarot Card, the fact is that it's difficult to upgrade quickly, so it can't reach or even approach the Life Value limit increase rate in the short term, let alone equal it. Therefore, in the Fifth Tier, it's still necessary to work on upgrading the Talent Level of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline."
If Zhang Yanhang wants to solve the shortage of Energy Value limit in a short time, he believes that continuing down the talent route of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline would be more reliable. After all, upgrading talent to higher levels significantly increases various related growth rates.
And the 3,220-point increase in this instance in Zhang Yanhang's Energy Value limit consists of three main parts.
The first part naturally comes from the maximum Energy Value limit conversion coefficient, which provides 300 points in the Energy Value limit.
The second part is the 60% Energy Value limit increase from the SS-level Scroll Dragon Bloodline applied to the 300 points of the Energy Value limit, which contributes 180 points.
The third part, which accounts for the remaining 2,740 points of the Energy Value limit, comes entirely from the 30% Energy Value limit increase due to the light-gold quality Divination Tarot Card Twelve-piece set.
